[ NL., fr. Gr. bary` s heavy.] ( Chem.) One of the elements, belonging to the alkaline earth group; a metal having a silver- white color, and melting at a very high temperature.

[ Rarely written { barytum}.] [ 1913 Webster] Note: Some of the compounds of this element are remarkable for their high specific gravity, as the sulphate, called heavy spar, and the like. The oxide was called barote, by Guyton de Morveau, which name was changed by Lavoisier to baryta, whence the name of the metal. [ 1913 Webster] |
